specications.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause interference, and () This device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certied equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe systems, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
: Users should not attempt to make such connections

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which
may interfere with residential radio and television reception if not
properly installed and used in accordance with instructions contained
in this manual. Reasonable protection against such interference is
ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur in a given
installation. If interference is suspected and veried by switching
this equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient
the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with
respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate
circuit outlets. The user may also wish to consult a qualied radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. This equipment has

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm
the telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable,
may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances
warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is
required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected
to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of
your telephone from your line.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring
when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas,
the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not
exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect
to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local
telephone company.
